2017 Holiday Gift Guide
Hello HELLO HO HO HO! It’s here! The time has finally come. Can you tell how excited I am?!?!?!? IT'S TIME! The holidays are here and ChRYistmas is in full affect! Everyone says it, but this is LITERALLY my most favorite time of the year. I have been listening to Christmas music since March, and if I could keep my Christmas tree up all year round I would. This year I wasn’t sure if I would be able to get a Christmas tree in my apartment because they are pricy lets be honest, but a lovely lady donated her old tree to me and I think it does just the trick, so thank you Kelsi! I put up the tree right when I got home from Thanksgiving dinner. I poured myself a nice glass of champagne, put on How to get away with Murder and had the best time of my life. Also if you’re not watching HTGAWM, what are you doing?
Since I’m a lover of all things Christmas I thought I would compile some things that are on my list this year along with the things I think the people in my life would love. This is my first gift guide so I want to reach to the masses. There are a lot of people that you usually have to buy for: parents, siblings, kids, friends and don’t forget the pooches in your life.
This post isn’t meant to get long and rambley so here are something’s that I think will put a smile on anyone’s face this holiday season.
Stocking Stuffers
The best things come in small packages
1. Lotions are the absolute bees knees and perfect for this cold weather. This one from bath and body works comes in so many yummy scents and are very affordable.
2. Also from bath and body works, the three wick candles are the best! My favorite is the pumpkin pecan waffle! It makes your room smell AMAZE!
3. Sephora always has the greatest little gift sets and the Ouai haircare brand has been all over the place and has some amazing products. I would be super excited if i pulled this out of my stocking Christmas morning.
4. You can also get some great little makeup finds at places like Ulta and Sephora. The Tarte Tartist palette is something great to throw into your beauty obsessed babes stocking.
5. Everyone always whines about getting undies for Christmas, but pulling out some cute panties is honestly super exciting and you can never have too many!
For the beauty obsessed
1. Rihanna has taken the beauty world by storm and I have heard nothing but amazing things about this foundation brush and the foundation too. The foundation comes in a very wide range so you can for sure find something that matches you perfectly.
2. Everyone was dying over the morphe 350 palette when it first dropped, but now that the 3502 pallets came out it is makeup on a whole new level. This is any girls dream palette right here, or at least mine.
3. For something a little more budget friendly, Gigi Hadid has come out with her own collaboration with Maybelline and this fiery red orange lipstick will look amazing with a glowy face and naked eye with some long natural lashes!
4.To move on to the more glamorous, it is always a good thing to have a nice perfume. I used to have Chanel mademoiselle, but my sister got this Dolce & Gabanna Light Blue Perfume last year and it smelled out of this world! Perfect everyday scent!
5. In my opinion, skin care is one of the most fun and important parts of beauty. Ole Henriksen has a great skin care line that will make your skin look practically perfect in every way.
6. Also apart of skin care, a jade roller has some great properties to it, but it is a must for any skin care routine and is super affordable.
For the Fashionista
... I know... theres a lot
So this one is the most exciting to me because out of all of them, this is the group I would fall into.
1. This is a cute little teddy coat from Urban Outfitters that I die for. They have it in a few colors and it's just so cozy!
2.Baloon sleeves are so in this season and this sweater was speaking to me. Asos is a great place to shop and they have everything you could ever need.
3. OKAY OKAY OKAY THIS ONE IS MY MOST FAVORITE OF ALL TIME!I am living, breathing, dying, crying for this! I have been searching for a suede deep v mini dress for about a year now and this one from Free People is everything!
4. Now I love me some Jenn Im and her new drop for Eggie had this super chic jumpsuit with polka dots! Polka dots are timeless and so is this look.
5. Another great find from ASOS is this plaid skirt. It's giving me major Gossip Girl vibes and it will look so cute with the white sweater(#2).
6. Onto shoes. Mules are so in right now and this is a super cute pair I have been dying for from Luca+Grae
7. Slides are also trendy right now. I don't have a pair and I don't think I can completely pull them off but these from UO are way cute and I love that they come in different colors.
8 and 9. Now hats are always a good idea and this season berets and baker boy hats are unstoppable. Both of these are from Brixton!
For Men
1 and 2. Both of these pieces are so cute and so nice! I love a good coat especially when it fits well. And the plaid pants are so in and will look great with a neutral sweater.
3. Coach has some great wallets and this army green one is affordable and great quality.
4. So if the man in your life is on the go, this backpack from Lululemon has a ton of pockets for all his go go go needs.
5. A go pro is a great idea if the man in your life is always outdoors whether he bikes, surfs, or snowboards and a go pro can catch all his outdoor achievements without breaking!
6. The Nintendo Switch is the new craze in the gaming world... at least I think. It has become so popular even my dad wants one! You can't go wrong with this on the go gaming system.
7. This splurgy item is for your average music lover. Whether he is working out, commuting, or just trying to watch some Netflix, Apple AirPods are amazing quality and are super easy for your on the go dude.
For the homebody
1-4. Anthropologie is home decor heaven. I used to work there when during the summer after my freshman year of college and I wanted all of the decor that made up the entire store. Delicate and glamorous vases jazz up any space and you can never have enough candle holders. This one comes is a set with some other suer cute shapes to hold your candles. The antique tray will look so cute on the center of a coffee table or even in the bathroom to hold your besties perfume and skin care.
5. Tapestries are a real statement piece for any space and this plant filled map of the contents from urban outfitters is my absolute favorite and is something I even put on my personal wishlist.
6. Coffee table books are a must for any home decor junkie. They are beautiful art pieces that are so interesting to flip through!
7. You can be a home body without a comfy robe. Victoria Secret has the best robes and I especially love this one because of the hood.
I hope you thought this was helpful and gave you some ideas on what to get for you loved ones! Happy hunting!
Lovely thoughts and outstanding taste,
Ryann
